Dirty. Outdated rooms. Horrible service at reception. Dirty room with an awful moldy smell. Shower head and bathroom vanity could use some deep cleaning. Never had room cleaning during our stay. The breakfast was below average, however, the old lady in the breakfast area was very helpful and polite (the only person out of all the staff we interacted with) The location was good, nearby little shops and restaurants. Overall, it was a very unpleasant 4 day stay. Im not sure if this review will help improve the service at this property. However, at least it could help others get mentally prepared with what they will encounter.

The hotel was very nice, included breakfast was delicious, and the river was beautiful. However, the location is very misleading and there is none of the typical literature left in hotel rooms telling you of local attractions and restaurants. Make sure if you stay there, you look past tiny Dillsboro to the next town (which is literally right across the bridge) for a very charming downtown area and a lot more options for restaurants and shops.
